After a few days of testing Skia in real-word (but limited) use, the pre-black
for windows/dialogs continues to be annoying, performance is not worse, and
only one new issue....  It did "freeze" my local Xserver twice.  Once
yesterday, and once today.  Each was approximately 5 seconds, and happened when
I was simply moving a LO window.  Literally, the entire Xserver just froze,
then released and returned to normal.  I have never seen that happen before.  I
need to get some other people testing it in our environment.  Even so, it might
be a suitable work-around for some people?

I do wish whatever regressed the FontBoxWYSIWYG function in non-Skia was
fixed/resolved, since it would mean I could skirt Skia, and guarantee stability
and avoid the annoying pre-black-fill of windows.
